“[e]videntiary decisions based on HRE [Hawaii Rules of Evidence] Rule 403, which require a “judgment call” on the part of the trial court, are reviewed for an abuse of discretion. HRE 404 represents a particularized application of the principle of HRE 403 (see Commentary to HRE 404), and we will employ the same abuse of discretion standard of review.”
